A/N: I'm entering shawol_haven's challenge again... kekeke. Not my best work, but oh well. haha.
The early morning light that was streaming through the thin white cotton curtains woke him from his much needed rest. He flips over in his bed and that’s when he realizes that he’s not the only one in the bed. His eyes slowly flutter open and all he sees is a head of dark brown hair with caramel colored highlights. A smile begins to form on his mouth as he wiggles closer to the body in front of him. His arm slowly makes it’s way over the body, gently pulling it back to met his.
He inhales a deep breath and the smell of white gummi bears fills his nose. The small smile that was already gracing his lips slowly got bigger. He buries his head into the soft hair, snuggling even closer to the figure. He couldn’t remember the last time he woke up as relaxed as he was right now. His life has been non-stop since they debuted a little over two years ago. So it was refreshing to just be laying in bed not having to worry about schedules or anything. He was secluded in his own little bubble. The only people that existed were the two people in the room.
The body in his arms starts to stir a little and he backs away to provide it more room. The figure starts to shift until they’re face to face. He smiles and places a gentle kiss on the forehead in front of him.
“Did I wake you?” he asks.
“Mm.”
“Go back to sleep.”
“Mm.”
Eyelids flutter open to reveal deep chocolate eyes and his trademark smile immediately graces his face. It’s been a long time since he’s been able to see these eyes up close. Too long if you ask him. He brings his hand up to brush the fringe away from the view of those eyes. He wanted to be able to stare right into them without any obstructions.
“Stop staring at me like that. It’s kind of creeping me out.”
“I’m sorry,” he continues to stare though as if this is the last time he will ever be able to look into those eyes again. He receives a playful slap on the arm as a result of his staring. The hand never leaves his arm afterwards though. It remains on his bicep, holding onto it. He smiles at the small gesture, understanding the meaning behind it.
“You’re still doing it.”
“Am I?”
“Yeah.”
“Hm.”
“Have you been awake for long?”
“No.”
“Are you hungry? Did you want me to start breakfast for us?”
“No. I just want to stay here with you for now.”
“You sure?”
“Uh huh,” he pulls the body close to him again, snuggling into the neck causing a soft giggle to escape from the other. It’s quiet in the room again, the only thing he hears are their heartbeats and soft breathing. A hand reaches up and starts to stroke his head, slowly lulling him back to sleep. He ends up drifting off to the faint sound of “Now and Forever” being sung into his ear. He dreams of the time when he serenaded the other with that song years ago.
They’ve been awake for at least an hour now, but neither one of them had made any moves to get out of bed. They were comfortable where they were. His arm was lazily hung around the other, their hands intertwined while his free hand twirled a piece of the other’s hair around his finger.
“Onew?”
“Hm?”
“We should probably get out of bed soon. We can’t spend the whole day here.”
“Are you sure about that? Because I wasn’t planning on leaving this spot until I absolutely need to.”
“Oh really now?”
“Uh huh,” he leans forward and brushes his lips against the other’s.
“You have morning breath.”
“So do you.”
“We should go brush our teeth,” before the person beside him can move to get out of the bed, he wraps his arms around their waist.
“I don’t want to get out of bed yet.”
“Well if you want to kiss me then we both need to go brush our teeth.”
“Five more minutes.”
“Fine,” they settle back and rest against the propped up pillows. Their hands intertwining again as they continue to enjoy their lazy Sunday together.
“When do you have to go back?”
“Day after tomorrow.”
“I see.”
“I wish I could stay longer.”
“Me too, but there’s no use in us wishing. We should just enjoy the time we have together.”
He could sense the disappointment without even having to look at the other. It has been hard for them to have time together ever since debuting. There was barely enough time in the day for him to shower, eat, and sleep. This was the first time in months that their schedule was completely free for a few days, giving them all a chance to catch up with family and friends.
“What do you want to do today?” he finally asks.
“I thought you said you wanted to spend the whole day in bed.”
“If I had a choice, yes I’d want to stay in bed all day, but I know you don’t.”
“I don’t care what we do. We don’t even have to leave this room.”
“I like the sound of that,” he smirks as he presses their lips together. They move with ease, not having to think at all about what they should do to accommodate the other. Hands slowly make their way up his arms and around his neck, pulling his head down just a little more. His hands move to the small of the other’s back, gently massaging it as he shifts his weight just a little so that their bodies are both in a more comfortable position.
“Okay, seriously. We both need to brush our teeth.”
He lets out a short laugh before finally releasing the other. His eyes never leave the figure as it climbs out of the bed and grabs one of his hoodies to cover up the bare shoulders that peeked through the black tank top that was also his. He looks down and realizes the shorts that the other is wearing also belong to him.
“Did you not bring any of your own clothes? Is that why you’re in mine?” he asks, finally getting out of bed to follow the other’s footsteps.
“Why bring my own clothes, when yours fit me just fine?” his toothbrush is held out to him and he grabs it.
“I like the way you look in your clothes better.”
“Your clothes are more comfortable.”
“If you say so,” he mumbles around his toothbrush. They continue to brush their teeth in silence, playfully pushing each other to the side when they needed to spit. He grabs the smaller hand in his and walks back into the bedroom. He leans up against the foot of the bed and pulls the other into him, positioning the body between his legs. Arms wrap loosely around his neck while his are back around the waist he never wanted to let go of, hands resting just above the other’s ass. Their foreheads rest against each other and he closes his eyes to revel in their little moment before he feels lips on his again. Their kiss is slow and languid, neither one feeling the need to take it any further. As far as they were concerned, they had all the time in the world.
“Oh, I want to play something for you,” he says when they finally break apart. He leads them back to the bed, grabbing the guitar that was resting beside the night stand.
“What is it?”
“You’ll see.”
“Am I going to like it?”
“I hope so. It’s not perfect just yet, I’m just learning how to play the guitar.”
“You don’t have to play it for me now.”
“I know, but you know how I can be impatient sometimes. Besides, I don’t know when we’ll be able to spend time like this together. I pretty much have it down anyways.”
“Okay.”
He quickly tunes the guitar before sitting in a more comfortable position. He waits for the other to get comfortable, pulling their legs up to their chest, hugging them close. A nervous smile crosses his face as he strums the opening cords. The soft sound of the guitar fills the room and his smooth voice joins not too long afterwards.
Whenever I’m weary
From the battles that play in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way
But still you seem to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man
He can see tears starting to well in the others eyes as he continues with his serenade. It wasn’t his intention to make the person cry. He just wanted to give a gift that was meaningful and relayed his feelings.
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I’m holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me
I’ll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be your man
He looks up just in time to see a hand brush away tears that were slowly falling down slightly rosy cheeks.
Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won’t be alone anymore
If I’d only known you were there
All the time, all the time
During the short instrumental, a kiss is placed on his lips. A soft salty aftertaste lingers on his taste buds, but he smiles anyways. He knows that his message is clear to the other. That they understand what the true meaning behind the song is.
Until the day the ocean
Doesn’t touch the sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now and forever
I will be your man
“APPPPPPAAAA!”
He lets out a low groan, covering himself a little more with the blanket.
“APPPPPPAAAA!”
He can hear his members talking now. They’re telling the little boy how he can wake him up. Realization dawns on him. Everything was just a dream. A dream within a dream. It felt so real though. Probably because they weren’t really dreams to begin with. They were memories for him of a time that he would give anything to go back to for just a short amount of time. Perhaps, that’s what his dreams were doing for him though. Giving him the chance to go back to the past and be with the other before things got complicated, eventually ending things between the two.
He meant every last word in that song though. He still means every last word whenever he sings it, hoping the other is watching and receiving his message.
